THE “OTTAWA SPOTLIGHT”

(Weekly Review of National Affairs)
By M. McDOUGALL
edehi (dh

Ottawa, July 17— The capita! of :h
Dominion is immeasurably pleased
that the swelling tide of American in-
tervention in the war of freedcm is
now lapping the shores of Iceland
What will result from the recent
landing of marines and bluejackets
in Iceland and the setting up of naval
bases by the United States fleet on
that North Atlantic island is not con-
sidered here as merely a matter of
conjecture. Not only is the tan of
hemispheric defence unfolded — still
further into the Atlantic, invading
waters designated by the Nazis as a
war zone, but it means the task of
delivering war equipment from this
continent to Europe will be made
much easied and more effective,
There will of course be plenty of
work still for the British and the Can-
adian navy in the Atlantic, particul-
arly that of the British will be the
major task but a new and wigilant eye
is trained on the sealands of the
North Atlantic and the people of Bri-
tain have received in practical form
renewed assurance that the Ameri-
cans intend to see that their material
aid to Britain will be delivered to
British shores. The attitude of the
United States and the practical steps
that country takes in assisting the
cause of freedom move forward under
their own momentum, Neither the
United Kingdom or Canada _— inter-
feres. Canadians everywhere concur
in the expectation of Prime Minister
Churchill that “the British and United
States naval forces may find it ad-
vantageous to assist each other in
guarding the supply lines between
Britain, Iceland and the United
States.” It remains, however, for the
Americans to show what form their
atrol and guard of the sealanes of the
North Atlantic from their new vant-
age point in Iceland will assume. One
thing is certain, The establishment
of garrisons from the United States
in Iceland makes the island more se-
cure against possible Nazi attack. If
Iceland were in the hands of the en-
emy it would be a very dangerous
point of attack onthe vital supply
lines from North America to Britain.

In these days of suspense and anx
iety there is not time for complac-
ency. The eyes of all have to be set on
the goal of victory, but in the days to
cocme Canadians will undoubtedly
feel justifiable satisfaction in the
Part that Canada has been playing in
the gradual process of welding to-
gether in a common purpose the two
great English speaking democracies
on whose shoulders rests the future
of the world.

Sales of products of the farm and
orchard to Britain have been much in
the public eye in the past few days.
The bacon board at Ottawa has been
exercised over the bacon situation.
They are determined that Canadian
bacon producers will not fall down on
their commitments to Britain, The
British contract calls for the delivery
of 425 million pounds of bacon before
the end of October. More than half
of this amount had been delivered by
the end of June, but there is still a
large part of the contract to be filled.
One of the troubles has been that on
account of rising prices across the
border there has been an increase in
hog exports to the United States.
This has been particularly true in the
far west. Hog grading in Canada
shows an increase in the first six
months of this year of about 25 per
cent over the same months of 1940
but there {sn’t a production large en-
ough to supply both the British and
United States markets. An appeal
was made some time ago to cut down
domestic consumption of bacon and
ham by half. Prices were raised on
May first by $1.00 an increase assum-
ed by the British government. There
was a further increase of 75 cents on
May 30th and a similar increase on
June 24th, both of these price lifts be-
ing assumed by the Canadian govern-
ment. Now there is the probability of
another increase. There is a clear
challenge to the whole bacon indus-
try not ti let the British food minis-
try down, A conference is now in ses-
sion in Washington which may result
in some “joint program by Canada,
United States and Britain on the bac-
on situation.

Apple growers in the Annapolis Val-
ley in Nova Scotia have been greatly
encouraged after the economic trou-
bles they have undergone since the
war began, by the tentative sale of
about 13,500,000 pounds of dried ap-
ples to the British food ministry. New
methods of evaporation have produced

types of dried fruits which have plea-
sed the British palate. The order
which will take care of about one mil-
‘j-n barrels of fresh apples or Approx
imately two thirds the year’s crop
will earry the industry for the year.

» account of the need of conserving
eorzo space, the fresh fruit could not
be imported by Britain in wartime.

At an international grain confer
ence at Washington, called by
American government, representat
ives of the four great grain exporting
countries, Canada, United States,
Australia and Argentina are looking
for light on the world wheat situation
The combined wheat surplus in the
bins of the four countries is over
1,100,000,000 bushels and with new
crops in the northern hemisphere
promises to be still higher.
sents a dark picture, There is likely
to be some speculation on the pos
sible demand for wheat from Russia
if stocks in the Ukraine are lost or
destroyed in the war in any large
measure, What these countries are
seeking with the aid of British repre-
sentatives is a common policy to alle-
viate the present glut on the markets
and a joint approach to the great pro-

Gives Address On
Economic Reform
Mr A. J. Hooke, Chairman of the
Socia] Credit Board gave an interest-
necessity for
Theatre

ing address on the
Economic Reform in Hirtle’s
Monday evening.

Mr Hooke is giving a series of edu-
cational talks on this subject hoping
to arouse the public in general to the
need of a more equitable means of
distribution of the necessities for
living.

It would have been better had he
chosen a more seasonable time, as
the farmers are busy in their fields

and further, people are not inclined
to going to lectures during hot weath-
er— notwithstanding the theatre was
very comfortably cool. Hence the at-

tendance of adults was wery small.

The speaker said there are two
kinds of Democracy— Political and
Economic. The former we have— it is

Economic, Democracy we must strive
for with an all out endeavor to right
the unjust conditions existing.

The
to maintain political democracy must
not on their return be faced with fail-
ure to secure a comfortable _liveli-
hood, and it is for us at home to
strive to bring about this equitable
economic democracy. Mr Hooke quot-
ed figures to prove the “noose around
the neck” caused by interest.

Mr Hooke is a pleasant, easy to fol-
low speaker. There was no time given
for question period. Mr 8S, Coldwell

Sports provided a highlight of sports-

up, and the youngsters gave their all
in every event. One or two of the ev-

The crowd were ail on hand at the
judging of the bathing beauties and
interest and speculation ran rife am-
ong them, The judges had a hard job
to pick a winner, and took quite some
time. Queen of the contest Was
Elaine Sarsons, snd runners up were
Edna Harteli, and Joyce Woodlifte.
The judges were three visitors from
out of town, An intresting sideligut
to this was a bathing beauty of the
“gay nineties” type, Mrs F. H:lton
was the beauty inside,

The Auction Sale, presided over by
genial George MacLean, was another
feature of the day, and bidding and
cross-bidding provided more than us

What with Dr Giffen running around
in a ten gallon hat, and other items
in the same vein, it was one of the
most interesting sales yet held.

TOWN COUNCIL

The agenda at the Council meeting
on Tuesday was rather short, and
Council finished the town’s business
unusually early. Owing to the exces:
sive heat, more especially in a second
story room, most of the councillors
were more than glad to escape.

One of the longest discussions ° of
the evening took place over the side
walk probtem, and after probing
block after block, it was decided un-
fil the next meeting, when the decis-
fon will be fully approved, te con-
crete the block of sidewalk stretching
trom Woodliffe’s to Van Tighem’s cor-
ner on Sixth Street. As regards wood,
the block running past the Curling
House will be rebuilt with four foot
boards, under contract to F, Jones.
Tenders for the concreting will be
called for and voted on at the next
meeting.

One of the properties put up for tax
sale has been redeemed, A proposal
was received from J, Fedewich asking
that the Town convert the large space
in the rear of his shop to living quar
ters. The ouncil went down as a com.
mittee to see what could be done, and
what it would likely cost, and will
defer decision until later, mainly at
Mr Fedewich’s suggestion.

Taxes are coming in well, the finan:
cial statement revealed. The Bank
loan has been paid off, and there is a
very favorable balance for so early a
period in the tax year. The matter of
supplying some of the grants made
by th Town was deferred until the
first of November, when it was felt
they would be more receivable.

Application was received from the
crew at work on the west highway to
use the pump-house to fill the water
wagon used for work on the road
There is one engine belonging to the

“NEWS FROM HOME”

——— eee eee ee 3338 ee eo

Niece Of T. M. Wears
Writes Of Conditions
In Scotland
fuse sare Ys es

That news from home is as we-
come as flowers in Spring there can
be no question. It is now nearing thir-
ty years since I left the old sod, and
1 am happy to say that during that
long period I have never been witbout
hews from home,

Recently 1 had a most interesting
letter trom a niece in Dundee, Scot-
land, certain portions of which | am
sure will interest readers of “The
Standard.” My niece writes— “Well,
we are still in the land of the living
and the place of hope, facing all our
various difficulties with a smile, al-
though up to now we have here noth-
ing to grumble about, We have had
no air raid warning (a weird and won-
derful sound) since New Year’s Day
(letter written 23rd January, but de-
layed) which only lasted for ten min-
utes, and before that about the third
week of November. However, we have
One of the famous Anderson Shelters
built at the foot of the garden and we
adjourn there till the “all clear” (an-
other wailing note), So far we have
had no “cards” dropped Dear us ex
cept one, which although it sounded
very near was actually two miles aw-
ay, and certainly did some damage,
killing three people, but as I have al-
ready said every thing just goes on as
before, although it is spoken of for
days perhaps it is certainly part of
our daily life.”

My niece with friends in Portsmouth
speaks of the blitz there, three weeks
before, they had no electrieity and
no gas, but any number of not-too-
particular refugees. My niece adds—
“Howard had to stand in a queue for
half an hour for some sweets for

Christmas, and we employ ourselves
here sending chocolates and biscuits,
as the refugees there ate up every-
thing in the shops.”

Of the food question we are mighty
lucky to be where we are. Hear this—
“I must say that so far everything has
been all right up to a few weeks ago
when Lord Woolten announced the
meat ration at 1-2 (29 cents) per week
per person, and as we don’t get any
beef at that price per lb, you can
guess that there is not much meat go-
ing. The other week-end | got 3-4 Ib.
of mutton to do Saturdy, Sunday and
Monday for three of us, and ai this
rate you can picture our dinner hour,
You will be thinking this a long drawn
out tale of woe, but I am sure you will
want to know how we are faring in
these times, As for onions we haven't
seen any for weeks, yet, nearly
months, and now leeks grown practi-
cally at our own doors cannot be got
as the weather recently has been so
severe that they can’t be got out of
the ground, and they have to come
from England at from ten to twelve
cents each,”

Some people are now beginning to
disregard the blitz rather than face
the bad odour of the shelter. The
narrative continues— “On Monday I
was going up Union Street to Rogers
to see if 1 could “grab a rabbit”
(that's the style now-a-days) when
the siren went again, as 1 walked
round to Crichton Street to the air-
raid-shelter, but the atmospheric con-
ditions down stairs must have been
appalling as one could have cut the
atmosphere even at the door leading
down to the shelter with a knife, so I
took the tramcar home and = was
there when the “all clear” went off.”

From the above it will be gathered
that my home town is not faring too
bad. The reason may be that the Tay

ELK ISLAND
NATIONAL PARK

Elk sland National Park is closely

linked with the saving of the plains
buffalo from possible extinction for
here were received the first shipment

of buffalo purchased by the Dominion
Michae!| Pablo, th

Montana rancher. Later the main
herd was transferred to Wainwright

but a few dozen, perhaps too wild to
be rounded u peasily, were left at Elk
Island, From this vigorous stock has
grown the finest herd of plains buf

falo on the North American contin-
ent, and since the closing of Wain-
wright as an animal park, Elk Island
has become the home of Canada’s na-
tional buffalo herd. Besides the buf-
falo which now number over 1,200,
the park contains about 500 elk and a
number of moose and deer. It is also
regarded as one of the important bird
sanctuaries in Western Canada. In
early summer its lakes are covered:
with waterfowl and more than 200
species including local and migratory
birds have been observed within the
park’s boundaries,

Although Elk Island Park was orig-
inally established as a wild animal
presenve for the elk and mule-deer
of the region it has now become a pop-
ular vacation centre. Its Dumerous
lakes surrounded by rolling, well wood
ed country attract thousands of visit-
ors each year. Last year admissions to
the park numbered nearly 50,000. It is
only about an hour's run from the city
of Edmonton and is accessible either
by motor road or railway. The motor
road runs right through the park
from north to south and connects
With the main provincil highway sys-
tem, Because of its proximity to Eu-
monton and Lamont, no hotel accom-
modation has been established in the
park so far.

In addition to the wild life and scen-
ic attractions in the park opportun-
ities for outdoor enjoyment are many
and varied. On the eastern end of As-
totin Lake, where there is a long
stretch of clean, sandy beach a re-
creational centre has been developed.
The beach slopeps gradually into the
water affording fine bathing facilit-
jes under safe and pleasant condit-
ions. Bath-houses have been built for
the convenience of visitors and boats
are available for hire during the sum-
mer season. The area around the
beach has been landscaped with trees
and walks and liberally suppplied with
rustic seats and benches, There are
tennis courts and playing fields for the
grown ups, and amusements galore
for the litde children, including
swings and see-saws, A 9-hole golf
course bas been constructed on the
rolling plateau southeast of Astotin
Lake for those who feel a holiday is
not complete without a round of golf.
An attractive club-house, where light
refreshments may be obtained, has
been built for the convenience of
players and visitors, The fairways and
greens of the golf course are flanked
by shade trees and are maintained in
excellent condition. Thus Elk Island
park is rapidly becoming an import-
ant unit of Canada’s national system
of recreational areas and wild life
sanctuaries,

Canada’s National Parks, which be-
gan in Alberta 56 years ago with the
setting aside of a scenic area around
the Hot Mineral Springs at Banff,
now number 17 with a total area of
over 29,000 square miles, There are in
addition nine National Historic Parks,
as distinct from the National Parks
which are distinguished by their wild-
erness character and wild life attrac-
tions. These parks large and small
are serving a two-fold purpose at pre-
sent; they are attracting large num-
bers of tourists from the United
States who bring with them currency
much needed for Canada's purchases
of war material in that country, and
they are providing healthful recrea-
tion for the people of Canada. Be-
cause of war time restrictions on tra-
vel abroad, Canadians are now using
their own national parks to a greater
extent than ever before.

Improvements and adaptations
made in the Dominion have turned
what formerly were scouting and
light machine gun carriers into for-
midable armoured fighting vehicles.

Production of Universal Carriers in
Canada now is sufficient to fill all
Canadian requirements and the Brit-
ish Government is taking large quant-
ities of these powerful tracked ve-
hicles that can “turn on a dime,” roar
up steep hills or leap over small dit-

Under The
Street Lamp

by P. E. (Pat) O’Hooley

On their first day at
Sarcee, Charlie and
Andy Scott, like sc
many others, were hav-
ing a difficult time try-
ing to understand what
the drill instructor was
barking at them.

When the instructor
gave an extra-involved order, Andy
whispered:

“ "Ere, Charlie, what did ’e say?”
“Ain't got the least idea” replied Char-
lie, “but we've got to do it,”

“Good morning, This is Hullett,
Crafting, Studge, Gowles, and Scar-
row.”

“Oh, good morning, good morning,
good morning, good morning, good
morning.”

Two young ladies were behind a
counter eating peanuts. Most of the
peanuts had single kernels... Finally
one of the pair yelled: “Oh, I’ve got
twins'” having discovered two ker-
nels in the shell. The entire staff of
the store stood breathless for about
three minutes.

A man is a quaint person who thinks
that because a girl has a fine set of
ankles she has a soul, a mind and can
cook a good steak. .

“Dear Madam,” Heart

On going into the cowshed one morn
ing, Mr Farmer was greatly sur:
prised to see a new hand fresh from
the city, giving one of the cows adrink
from the milking pail.

“What are you doing that for?”
demanded,

“Well,” explained the hand, “the
milk seemed pretty thin to me, so I
thought I'd better put it through the
process again.”

AN ALTERNATIVE

English political speeches, at their
best, have long been noted for their
pungent humor. A rejoinder of John
Morley, given in the heat of battle, is
a typical example,

Morley had just finished a campaign
address by requesting his listeners
to vote fo rhim, when a man jumped
angrily to his feet and shouted, “I'd
rather vote for the devil!!”

“Quite so,” rejoined Morley with a
smile, “but in case your friend de-
clines to run, may I count on your
support?”

HERE are today several score anti-

Thus the indomitable will of men for

BIG SALARIES

We are in full accord with the fol-
lowing editorial from the Brooks Bul-
letin. This is a condition that must be
rectified before the new order, for
which all thinking humanity is striv-
ing, will be established,

Everyone naturally
there are high and responsible posi-
tions that require the best brains, and
keen judgment of qualified men and
the responsibility they assume should
beb adequately rewarded, At the same
time this does not justify handing out
to those of lesser importance, a star-
vation wage, for necessary work—

Sy Ae Arthur Meighen got into
the proverbial doghouse a month

| or so ago when he suggested that an
|important part of cur democratic

in-
stitutions is the making of a profit,

The senator, who hails originally from

iortage la Prairie, Manitoba, was be-
labored right and left for the utter-
ance,

Recently Senator Meighen made the
observation that the time has come

| when the government should exercise

control over salaries, He was referr-
ing principally to corporation salar-
jes. On that subject he is on a more
popular ground,

A few years ago the United States
permitted to be made public some of

| the salaries made by prominent offic-

ials of the great corporations, The
mass of the people were flabbergast-
ed at what was revealed. The same

condition prevails in Canada and
should be checked up,
These days a lot of newspapers

and a lot of people are railing at the
labor unions for demanding increas-
ed wages for workmen. It would be
more fitting if they were condemn-
ing, as does Senator Meighen, the
practise of high executives in the
great corporations of providing them-
selves with enormous salaries. It is
just such salaries which incite labor
to try to get more pay for themselves.

If there was a leveling down of the
large salaries paid to these execut-
ives, to the judiciary and others in

(Editorial From The New York Times
July 2nd, 1941)

HITLER AS CRUSADER

all the roles that Hitler has cho-
sen to play, for the sole purpose
of getting what he wants from a cre
dulous world, none is more fantastic
than this present role of White
Knight leading the civilized people of
Europe on a holy crusade against Boi-
shevism. The stage is being set for
this spectacle by diligent Nazi pro-
paganda, France, Spain and other na-
tions are being invited, or command-
ed, to send token forces to this “holy
war.” Hitler, the erstwhile pal of
Stalin, is being clothed with gleaming
armor, and heralded, with loud blasts
from Goebbels’ trumpet, as the savior
of mankind from the dark forces ol
communist destruction.

The fraudulance of this whole man-
oeuvre can be demonstrated by two
simple tests. In the first place, let any
American who is now tempted to re-
gard Hitler as a crusade against [ol-
shevism ask himself who invited Bol-
shevism into Central Europe. Who
made the pact of August, 1939? Who
conspired with Stalin to destroy Pol
and, the best bulwark against a west-
ern spread of Russian influence? Who
if not Hitler? And in the second
place, still more important, let the
same American ask himself what real
difference between
the Bolshevist system of
the National Socialist system of Hit-
ler, joth are demonstrated enemies
of religion. Roth de-
mand worship of the state, headed by
“Leader” who becomes es-
sentially a god. Both permit not the
slightest deviation from a party “line”
threat of excommunication or

there is, anyway,

Stalin, and

established

a supreme

under

extermination, Both suppress min-
ority opinion by such methods as
star-chamber trials, torture, concen-

tration camps and secret murder. Both
treat human rights as non-existent,
and make human beings the mere
slaves of an all-powerful and self- per-
petuasting oligarchy. What differ-
ence can it make to the churchman or
the business man or the workingman
or the farmer whether he is ruled by
Bolshevism or by National Socialism?
What vital difference, from our point
of view, exists between the two at bot-
tom: exceptp that the one (German)
is in much better position at this mom-
ent than the other (Russian) to attack
Britain and break down the defences
of our Western Worid?

The purpose of this flood of Goeb-
bels-created propaganda pictured
Hitler as the White Knight of Christ-
endom, is plain enough. This pur.
pose is to divide our counsels and to
paralyze our will We ought not to
let ourselves be fooled at so critical
a moment by a strategy so obvious.
This is the time to give our ships th
protection of our Navy and to throw
into the Western Front, on Britain’s
side, every plane that we can spare.

Artists Aid Jasper-Banff
Spitfire Fund

Jasper, Alta.— In an effort to as-
sist in raising funds for the Jasper-
Banff Spitfire Fund, six famous art-
ists have donated original paintings
which are now on dispplay in the ro-
tunda-of Jasper Park Lodge and are
attracting much attention. The art-
ists who have given their paintings
to assist this fund are Roland Gissing,
Grandmaison, Peter Whyte, Car! Run-
gus, Belmore Brown and Roland Jack-
son,

Ali artists are well known in the
world’s art circles and have done a
great deal of work in the Canadian
Rockies. They specialize in scenic
subjects, with the exception of Roland
Jackson, who features wild life and
Grandmaison whose ambition is to per-
petnate the life of the rapidly vanish-
ing North American Indian. He is
looked upon as an outstanding auth-
ority on the interpretation of Indian
lore and character,

The Orthodox Guan
In Russia

While the Roman Catholic Bishops
of Germany have issued a bitter pro-
test against the anti-religious attit-

sian Orthodox Church leaders have
indicated a decision to forget the anti-
religious policy of the Bolshevist Gov-
ernment and to support Moscow in its
struggle with the German invader.

In the Russian churches prayers
have been offered for a Soviet victory.
A message to the churches on July 1
from acting Patriarch Sergei, Metro-
politan of Moscow said— “The Church
of Christ blesses all members of the
Russian Orthodox Church for a_ de-
fense of the holy frontiers of our
Fatherland. Let God bring victory.”

The Metropolitan said that the

DUST-PROOF ROAD

Tourist promoters have long em-
Dhasized the importance of a “circle
route” through Alberta.

Such a route would connect’ with
the Jasper and Banfi national parks,
At present this route is dusi-proof
with the exception of the stretch be-
tween Edmonton and Jasper..

Some 30 miles of this section have
been made dust-proof but the work
Should be extended so that the whole
road would be surfaced in this way..

Obviously valuable publicity could
be given the fact that a dust-proof
“circle route” was available to motor-
ists in Alberta, linking with Canada's
two largest national parks.

WHEAT BONUS —
TO BE HEAVY

Some 62,400 Alberta farmers have
made application for the federal gov
ernment wheat acreage reduction
bonus, which may reach the figure of
$11 million in this province, This in-
formation was disclosed by E. L. Gray,
director of the bonus scheme for the
prairie provinces,

Farmers to obtain

their bonuses

; Should go to their municipal secret-

aries and complpete their final form
claims, A sworn statement of seeded
acreage is required. Unless complica-
tions arise, bonus cheques should be
out to the farmer within 10 days after
the final claim has been completed.
Mr Gray said there is no cutoff date
in respect to farmers making out the
final claims form. If desired a farmer
could let this stand over until fall.
Contrary to earlier statements, bon-
us claims must be based on actual
seeding and cannot be switched to
something else if the seeded acrecee
is doruthed out or hailed out and
latterly summerfallowed. —Budget.
